Genesis G80

The 2019 Genesis G80 is spacious for a premium-midsize sedan, remarkably well equipped and built to a suitably high level. Although the driving dynamics don’t match its European rivals, nor does the pricing. If there’s such a thing as a bargain in this vehicle class, the G80 is it.

New Features and Revisions

A 3.8 Sport package becomes available. It’s a set of cosmetic additions including a dedicated design of 19-inch alloy wheels, alloy-capped pedals and a different steering wheel to the usual 3.8 version, plus some extra features. The 3.8 models also receive an upgraded 8-inch infotainment touch screen and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration.

2017‑2018 Genesis G80

For 2018, a new Sport trim joins the G80 lineup and features a 3.3-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, sport-tuned 8-speed transmission and an adaptive sport suspension. All G80s receive revised styling inside and out and a new analog fuel gauge. New standard safety features include Pedestrian Detection and Driver Attention Alert.

For 2017, the vehicle formerly known as the Hyundai Genesis becomes the G80. Along with the all-new G90 flagship, it is launching the Genesis luxury brand, similar to what Toyota and Honda did in the 1980s with the Lexus and Acura divisions.
